Retro city tires
Hello:
I'm making an old mtb more of a city friendly bike. I can't seem to find any slicks with tan sidewalls in a 26 x 1.75 or somewhere thereabouts. since you guys seem to have all the cool retro stuff in this part of the forum, I figured I'd post it here for any suggestions. I envision something like this:

thanks,
Pat

The first one (Cheng Shin) probably won't fit on your rims. Standard mtb rims are 559mm diameter, whereas that tire is 590mm. Always check the ISO diameter if in doubt, the other numbers can get really confusing, since there are multiple sizing schemes for "26 inch" tires.
